Hi friends. Good afternoon. Today I am going to share with you a tasty pickle recipe which can be prepared within 20 minutes and can be stored in an air tight container. This pickle will last up to 1 month if you keep away from water. 

If you are an Indian then definitely you will feel connected with the word “pickle”, because once you open the jar that heavenly smell of pickle will remind your mother and home. Now days everyone is going abroad for higher studies or after marriage or for job opportunities and miss homemade pickles. 

Even though you carry them while going abroad they may last up to only 1 month. I personally miss my mother’s homemade mango pickles. So, I learned this recipe from my mother -in -law and thought of sharing it with you.
